  • Underwater optical metrology system
    Patent number: 10545233
    Abstract: Described herein are methods and devices for improved location of any and all underwater structures or equipment installed underwater. In particular, systems are disclosed that combine optical and acoustic metrology for locating objects in underwater environments. The systems allow for relative positions of objects to be determined with great accuracy using optical techniques, and support enhanced location of devices that utilize acoustic location techniques. In addition, location information can be provided by the system even in conditions that make optical metrology techniques impossible or impractical.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 3, 2019
    Date of Patent: January 28, 2020
    Assignee: 3D at Depth, Inc.
    Inventors: Carl W. Embry, Neil Manning, Derek D. Pierce, Julian Peter Rickards, Cory S. Moore
